I forget the name of the cheap Italian franchise, but it's one that recycles those guys in silver jumpsuits with the dime store light sabers & trademark Dutch Boy wigs....
So anyway, a scaly looking alien heads for Earth looking for slaves, makes a mockery of Earth's defenses, & blows up a few cities....
The only hope, is to pull a scientist out of retirement who really hates the government.... He declines, but immediately starts his on mission in secret.... He hypnotizes a young military pilot, & assembles his own team: A psychic gambler, two chemists, an acrobatic prizefighter and a pair of bickering antique robots....
A really bad VHS print, terribly blurry.... The movie it's self starts off okay, but then gets very plodding, even during action sequences....

At a charity ball, a newspaper editor & his star reporter are humiliated when it's revealed the guest of honor, the sultan of a country that doesn't exist, is a fraud...
The reporter is banished to the basement, but comes up with a plan to save his career (and his boss's reputation) by taking a sidebar about a young woman with radium poisoning into a front page story.... He travels to a small town to find her, where the locals are rude to him... He finds the woman, not knowing she just found out she's been misdiagnosed.... He offers her a trip to New York, and also brings the doctor that misdiagnosed her, who has a personal vendetta against the news paper.....
Politically incorrect comedy.... Fast paced, with lots of amusing quotes...
